Most Underrated Brewery...

Spellbound - Mt. Holly, NJ - Although underrated may not be the best term because they are still small, only canning one beer this far and it's their IPA (damn good too, 88 BA score). Looking forward to seeing more from these guys in the future.

 

My vote goes for Drake's. I admittedly don't drink much of their regular lineup, but they have some good special/seasonal releases and always have interesting and sometimes great stuff on tap at the brewery...never hear a peep about them on this website though.

 

Boulevard.
Half Acre.
Revolution.

 

Since Half Acre and Revolution have been mentioned already, I'll go with Finch's. Haven't had a beer I dont like and everything is solid. Cool looking cans and I have to represent Chi Town

 

Kane. Outside of ANTEAD, it doesn't seem like many people seek out there beers. I think this will probably change when they can.

 

I'll agree with Boulevard. Their IPAs are solid and Saison Brett and Tank 7? Fugetaboutit.

 

I feel kinda bad, because I'm always pumping them up, but Saint Archer is fantastic. Incredibly deft hand with the hoppy stuff, but equally adept at other styles. They get lost amongst the San Diego behemoths and upstarts, but their stuff is top friggin' notch.

 

Odell
Metropolitian

 

Heretic, Bear Republic, Council, Indeed, Pizza Port

 

Their whole smokestack series is good with a lot of those beers being great. Their saisons are definitely my favorite, and their dark truth stout is just mind blowing.
I'd have to mention Dfh they are constantly mentioned on over rated brewery threads and catch a lot of hate, but their ipas and palo santo marron are great, I also e joyed namaste quite a bit.

 

Plus you can actually find Jack's in stores, no waiting in lines or chasing beer trucks.

 

I always have a good time with Milwaukee Brewing Co too.

 

2nd Shift outside of St. Louis. Overshadowed by Perennial, Side Project and 4 Hands (in my mind, 4 Hands can't be underrated with the way Madagascar and Vols. 1 & 2 were chased), they make some great brett beers.

 

Union Craft

 

I think Lagunitas gets a little overlooked. I dig there hoppy stuff.

 

Reading through the responses I really disagreed with Boulevard. After giving it some thought, yes they can be found almost anywhere. But a lot of people take them for granted and don't talk about their offerings as much. I've not found a Smokestack Series beer I haven't liked. Now I'll agree, they don't get the attention they deserve.

 

Conquest in SC. They are small but their brewery release Finisher and Barrel variant Finishers are as good or better than most hyped RIS's I've had. Their year round beers are good and their coffee IPA is solid.

 

2nd Shift definitely makes some quality beers. Brew Cocky is one of my favorite DIPAs and I'd put it up against the big guns.

 

Heavy Seas often gets overlooked in my opinion as well. Their Barrel Aged series are fantastic especially for the price! Siren Noir, Black Beard's Breakfast, and Phantom Ship are incredible! and only for around $7.99 retail!

Also, I really dig everything Uinta has done. Especially their Crooked series. The Sour Plum was fantastic but for some reason they recalled all the bottles cause it didn't "meet up with their quality standards". But I thought the beer was great!

And last but not least, Breckenridge is actually a pretty solid brewery too that often gets overlooked. Their Tequila Barrel Aged Ophelia is great! Also, Everyone loves some BA Imperial '72!

 

Southern Tier has a good line-up and doesn't seemed to get a lot of hype.
